second 6 months

Not sure why I made the demarcation to the second 6 months.  I guess because I was so shocked to feel like.. oh here we are 6 months in.  I tell myself for my sanity maybe I should stop keeping track.  Maybe that will help with the routine.

Who knows.

I do know at the end of the second 6 months I have exciting plans so...  

August went by in a blur

Saw an old friend I hadnt seen in years.  That was a wonderful surprise.  We met for a walk. It turned into a really long walk with coffee and goos conversation. 

I had a freckle removed from my leg. Still working on that not scarring too much.  

I went to HHI for a quick quiet get away.  Walks to the beach. Minimal shopping. A few meals with seafood.

I swam in the Lake from my friends dock a few times.  I really wish I had made that a weekly routine.  Swimming and seeing them was nice.

There was some running and some walking...  70 miles.

And I made it a point to meet up with friends.

All and all a nice way to spend some time.

September is almost to a close as well.

There was a long weekend in there.  A girls weekend in there. 

Got back out on the road on my bike for about 70 miles so far.  Maybe I can squeeze in some more this weekend.

I have been trying to walk 300,000 steps but falling short if that.

I saw an old friend from high school.  It was nice. It was awkward. What do you talk about to cover 30 years of time? How do transition from fun high school kids to serious middle aged people with personal trainers and thrown out backs and jobs to do and homes to maintain?

I tried my hand at disc golf.  I suck. But goodness was the awkwardness of it not one of the best things for me.  Putting myself outside that comfort zone. I dont know the last time I threw a frisbee. Memories of the back yard and my dad. Knowing people were watching my awkwardness.  The pure random laughter of it. Fred! The last time I think I threw a frisbee was with Fred.  And that would have been 1998.  Gosh that was a fun day.  Prospect meeting gone poorly so we changed and went to the park.. attempted frisbee.. and then we went to a driving range.  A nice carefree moment way back then.  So I digress. 

Back to the disc golf.  It was good.  And then we just walked around the park.  Took the time to watch the people.  And sat down to watch a soccer game.  Obviously not as much urgency to fill 30 years of time with that relationship. 

There have been multiple hurricanes.  Paulette and Teddy went to Bermuda.  Today Beta is here.  I forget the name of the last one that blew through.   I am currently laying in bed.. windows open.. and the rain sounds amazing out there.  Need to go find my wellies and take the dog for a walk.  Make it fun!

All my Disney races have been canceled.  The trips are still on the books. I suspect the 2nd trip may for cancelled until the races are rescheduled. That's just a gutt feeling.  That is not my call to make.  I have a pass.  I am good. 

And some of my logistics for April are all set.  Now to get on the rest of them
